It is a great eye-opening experience. Find out if the police dept. in your town has a newsletter and subscribe to it. Attend outreach events if you can.)50ReplyHello, Indiana! 1 day ago All part of the plan to replace old school officers with SJW types that will adopt Johnson’s holistic approach to crime and criminals. Heard an exchange on the police band radio the other day when a young sounding, rather inarticulate and mouthy dispatcher tried to tell a 30 year veteran how to handle a crime scene. Who needs it?11-2ReplyDAG 1 day ago My son is fourth generation police. Pushed him to Indiana where he can still be the police with a lot of support. Impossible to make a difference here in Illinois anymore. We all made a difference in my 30+ year career and the politicians and leftists threw it all away in 5 years.

I’m not sure since there is still a lot of crime in certain areas but worth a try.30ReplyIsn’t Illinois Fun? 1 day ago Easy to understand why. National and especially local defund the police narrative, with Kim Foxx, Tim Evans, Preckwinkle undermining their ability and motivation to do the job. Many dangerous neighborhoods to work in. Charlatan mayor and a city council that not only don’t have your backs they stab them. COPA is a bad corrosive joke. Take a job in a safer town for better pay where the social justice warriors aren’t spewing their anti police venom.</div></body>
